If your boa is that small you should be feeding 1 dead rat pinky or pup at a time not multiple mice, not stunned. Rats are better prey than mice for boas. If you fed frozen/thawed you wouldn't ever have to worry about killing anything ever again, and you could get every size imaginable, and you wouldn't even have to leave home for rats, they'd come right to your door. Get over your head trip about defrosting if you don't like killing things because that is what you must do if you don't use f/t. Rabbits are more dangerous than rats, bigger teeth of the same chewing gnawing variety that rats and mice have, that can really damage and even kill boas. Did you read what I wrote about keeping a big stick in your hand and watching while you boas eat even stunned rodents? Well you'd need one heck of a huge stick for rabbits.



If you're looking for someone to tell you it's OK to feed stunned which is live, or feed multiple mice instead of a rat, and so far not one person in this whole forum of all levels of keepers has given you support for what you're doing, what do you think that means?
